Default MSP beacon revision

The Michigan State Police has recently revised the Unity roof beacon on patrol cars. The rotator w/ two bulbs has been removed in favor of a stationary four sided LED. It is very bright, can be dimmed at night, and a neat idea to keep the traditional look of the department.

Photo of light. I tried to post up a short camera video of the light in operation but can't get it to work, Mike?

I can't believe they are still using that type of set up

Joe,
I'm glad they kept the single light and the hood sign. I grew up seeing them. They are unique and a good conversation topic.
